The Stanford Prison Experiment

In “The Stanford Prison Experiment,” (CC 711) psychology professor Philip Zimbardo describes
a mock prison system he set up using college students as both prisoners and jailers in order to
determine to what extent individuals assume the roles to which they are assigned. Gather at least
three reliable sources from the Stratton Taylor Library concerning the Abu Ghraib prison scandal
reported in 2004, and compare those events to the experiment. In an essay, take a clear stand on
whether or not you believe Zimbardo’s famous experiment and conclusions about human nature
are relevant to the events that took place at Abu Ghraib.
